The Bobcat Nation

We might as well start a game thread.

Might as well.
Your title to the thread says, "Natalie Pictons".... are there two? Just kiddin'

So my question not having any information... will Jamison be able to play after the hit she took Saturday? If she doesn't start who will take her place. Seems the depth of the team is getting pretty shallow. Maybe Dylan will be back, wouldn't that surprise Sac State!!

While not ideal, there are some capable players. In the ‘Cats system, the point guard will start things off if they get slowed down but half the time it’s the first one to front court. They aren’t nearly as point-guard dependent as many teams. Biggest loss would be Jamison’s ball handling vs. pressure. But Isobel, Kadynce, and Brianne have all been getting some minutes there. Either Courtney or Heidi has some past experience, one more than the other. In Teagan’s bio Coach Bin says she can play all five positions, albeit her height might make pressure ball-handling an issue. However it goes, Coach Bin will be ready!

Definitely concerned for Jamison — that swelling under her eye looked more like a hamster than a mouse.

At this point, I'm wondering if Dylan and Brooke will sit the balance of the season and take another medical year. 10 games left plus tournament, if they aren't ready to go soon it might be worth saving the year.

Brooke already sat out all last year.

And it's a huge loss, you could really see her skills develop this year! If she had been playing straight through she would be fantastic!

I was really happy for her. Settled in after the crazy time in New Mexico, married, and playing great basketball. In the stats for the games she played, she was strong across the sheet. A very good rebounder, which we can always use. She was such a big star in Class AA — hopefully she can continue her career.

Addison Harris talked a bit about Dykstra and Picton in this interview:

Well this is interesting. I went to ESPN and it shows there that the women's game is Portland against Montana State.
Daniel has it handled no doubt.

Never mind it's some other team with Montana in their name.

You can tell the ladies have been working hard in practice. Forced a time out after starting with a 9 - 0 run. Exquisute passing, forcing way more turnovers than they committed, and rebounding like gangbusters. WOO HOO!

Holy canolli! 26 - 6 after Q1. Domination on both ends of the court.

Jamison has an awesome shiner! She got clocked pretty good against Weber. Looks really bad ass!

16 pts off 13 turnovers. Sac St with 0 pts off 5 Cat turnovers. Wow.

38-13 at half. The cats are taking it to Natalie and the Pictonites

Do you think they're motivated to beat Natalie?

They didn't allow 13 points in a quarter....13 points in a half!

Anyone else have chronic spontaneous hives from watching that commercial 10 times?!!

So, do we think Coach Bin may have been a little miffed about the defense last weekend?

And they didn't score in the 3rd until about 5 minutes in. 8 pts in the 3rd total. Nasty defense.

Cadence with 2 blocks of Natalie and the crowd got intothe 2nd knowing who was blocked. . And we've all seen her play enough to know those were from the places Natalie makes 100% of the time.
